Indonesia Tin exports likely to plunge to multi-year lows in 2015

[SMM Aluminum Flash] According to multiple media reports, following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran, prices in the international energy and metals markets fluctuated significantly. WTI crude oil futures fell by over 5%, while European natural gas prices plunged more than 10%. In the metals market, LME aluminum prices declined during the evening session, dropping over 5% to $3,357/mt. China's most-traded SHFE aluminum contract was also affected, with open interest rising by over 14,000 lots and the price falling by as much as 2% to 23,730 yuan/mt. Market concerns now center on persistently high operating aluminum capacity in China, while new and resumed aluminum capacity outside China will also put pressure on LME aluminum prices.

Segundo relatos da mídia estrangeira, em resposta a solicitações da Indian Aluminium Industries Limited (IAIL) e da SRF Altech, entre outras empresas, a Índia decidiu prorrogar o prazo para a imposição de direitos antidumping sobre folhas de alumínio com espessura de até 80 micrômetros importadas da China, Malásia, Tailândia e Indonésia até 15 de dezembro de 2026. Em 29 de setembro de 2025, a Diretoria Geral de Defesa Comercial do Ministério do Comércio e Indústria da Índia iniciou revisões de sunset das importações de folhas de alumínio da China, Malásia, Tailândia e Indonésia.
